Manitoba's Case: A Submission Presented to the Royal Commission on Dominion-Provincial Relations

Winnipeg, Province of Manitoba, 1937. 1st edition. 8 1/2 x 11". This collection consists of two parts: (1) the complete Manitoba submission ('Manitoba's Case'), contained within nine perfect bound, card covered volumes, each measuring 8 1/2 x 11' and contained within blue card covers; and (2) 24 individual reports, variously bound in similar fashion, or in coil, or in buckram (hardcover), but all with (more or less) similar blue covers. All titles show varying degrees of wear and soiling, some rubber stamps to eps, but all are in at least good+ condition. These individual submissions provide an exhaustive and complete picture of Manitoba, and Western Canada, in the 1930s. Some report titles are: Agricultural Income in Rural Manitoba, The Commercial Fishing Industry, Employment of Women, The Fur Industry, The Live Stock Industry, The Population of Manitoba, The Poultry Industry, Transportation, The Youth Problem etc. Each report contains from 20 to 367 pages, with most being over 100 pages in length, and extensively supported with statistics. This is the complete submission by the Province of Manitoba to the federal royal commission, known as the Rowell-Sirois Commission. The Report, issued by the Commission, has been called 'a landmark in the development of Canadian federalism' (Cdn. Encyc. p. 612). The Commission was established by Ottawa in 1937 to 're-examine the economic and financial basis of Confederation and the distribution of legislative powers in the light of the economic and social development of the last 70 years'. As a result of the Comission's recommendations there was a shift in taxation power from the provinces to the federal government, and the perfidious system of equalization payments came about. .

BRANDEGEE, Frank B.

Address on the Life, Character, and Public Services of William Mckinley

Washington, DC, 1904. 1st printing. pp. 32. 8vo. An original stapled pamphlet encased in its original covers. William McKinley (1843-1901) served as the 25th President of the United States from March 4, 1897 until his assassination in September 1901, six months into his second term. McKinley led the nation to victory in the Spanish-American War, raised protective tariffs to promote American industry, and maintained the nation on the gold standard in a rejection of inflationary proposals. He was the last president to have served in the Civil War. Brandgee (1864-1924), the author of this encomium, was a Congressman and Senator from the state of Connecticut. The pamphlet presents a history of McKinley's life and accomplishments. It has recently been reproduced as one of those abominable print upon request concoctions: this, however, is the original 1904 publication and although it shows minor wear and soiling to the covers, is otherwise in very good condition. 'Delivered before the McKinley Association of Connecticut at New Haven, January 29th, 1904'. .
